Okay, I'm a little unclear as to overall strategy. Do I need to have a backup for each position on my roster? If I can get Urbina who would you give up? As far as outfielders go, the best left on Waivers are:

I agree with Short about needing an outfielder on your bench. The strategy should generally be to identify players who are injury risks and find reliable backups. Your OF does have some risk, so you should have at least one insurance marker in that position.

Of the OF you listed, I like Finley or Grissom, probably giving the nod to Grissom 'cause it sounds like Alou is gonna move Bonds to cleanup and hit Grissom #3, meaning Marquis is gonna see lots of nice, fat, hittable pitches.

As for picking up Urbina, you could prob. drop Speier, pick up Urbina, throw him on the IL, then reacquire Speier if he clears waivers or, if you still feel the need for a 3rd RP, likely find an equally attractive sleeper reliever if he doesn't.
